He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

The laughter of Prince Zhao Ke and others was loud and undisguised, turning the originally solemn and dignified Outer Immortal Sect into a noisy marketplace.

Lu Changsheng frowned and gave Zhao Ke, who was in the lead, a deep look.

Even a clay figure has some fire, let alone that old fox Lu Changsheng.

Just laugh it off.

Damn it, he just keeps laughing! He just keeps laughing!

This person has already found a way to die, and Lu Changsheng has remembered it!

Luo Peng, who was in charge of maintaining order, frowned. He wanted to reprimand Luo Peng.

But then he thought about how the Prince of Zhenbei and the others had just given him a lot of silver notes and spirit stones, and then he looked at Lu Changsheng's poor and clueless manner...

Older people like to join in the fun, let's not even talk about Luo Peng.

But you don't even know how to keep money while you're passing by, and you don't even know how to give gifts, that's unacceptable!

After hesitating for less than a breath, Luo Peng snorted coldly, pointed at the silent Lu Changsheng, and loudly rebuked him:

"You old codger, are you deaf? Can't you hear me speaking?"

Having said that, his cultivation at the third level of Foundation Establishment erupted instantly, and the pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage swept across the surroundings like an invisible storm.

boom!

As the air surged, the clothes of the onlookers were all lifted up, and the Zhenbei King and others who had just been sneering fell silent instantly, lowering their noble heads.

Although they were all of noble status, that was all in the mortal world. Now that they had entered the immortal sect, apart from the spirit stones and treasures in their pockets, nothing else mattered. Naturally, they dared not offend the immortal elder, let alone a Foundation Establishment stage expert.

Lu Changsheng frowned, his gaze shifting from the Prince of Zhenbei and the others, before focusing on Luo Peng, who kept calling him "old man." His cloudy old eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Although he was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining, Luo Peng was only at the third level of Foundation Establishment. How could he possibly suppress Luo Peng's cunning with mere pressure?

With just a slight activation of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, the oppressive force imposed upon him vanished without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.

"Um?!"

Luo Peng was shocked. He had even released the full pressure of the Foundation Establishment stage. Apart from Lu Changsheng, all the other examinees present lowered their heads.

Those who were weaker were forced to bend over, prostrate themselves on the ground, and submit to the emperor.

But that old geezer...

This further fueled Luo Peng's anger, and he immediately walked up to Lu Changsheng, intending to make things difficult for him again.

Princess Taiping Bai Xue looked at Lu Changsheng with a complicated expression, clearly puzzled.

Logically speaking, someone with such a temperament should know when to advance and when to retreat, and should not offend the immortal disciples responsible for guarding the place at this time.

But this old man...

"Hmph, I told you long ago, this old man's mind isn't right!"

"I had already investigated before coming to Shangyun Heavenly Palace. This Luo Peng is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, specifically in charge of selecting candidates for outer sect disciples. In other words, if Luo Peng says someone can participate in the outer sect disciple trial, then that person can participate! If he says someone can't, then that person won't be able to get in no matter how hard they try!"

Prince Zhao Ke of Zhenbei grinned broadly, seemingly eager to stir up trouble.

"They've really offended Luo Peng. Hmph, this is going to be a good show. That old man will definitely be killed on the spot by the immortal!"

Luo Peng slowly walked step by step to Lu Changsheng. He walked slowly so that Lu Changsheng would have a chance to kneel down and admit his mistake. Unfortunately, the old man in front of him did not understand his intentions. Then he would not blame Luo Peng for being ruthless!

"To be able to withstand even the pressure of a Foundation Establishment stage expert, that's impressive. Back home..."

Snapped!

Before Luo Peng could finish speaking, a bright red handprint appeared on his face.

After the slap, Lu Changsheng casually shook his withered hand.

As people get older, they are less likely to strain their backs when exerting force suddenly.

This old back will be very useful in the future!

Compared to Lu Changsheng, who seemed completely unaffected, Princess Taiping, the Prince of Zhenbei, and the entire Outer Immortal Academy were all in a different league.

quiet!

Deathly silence!

Luo Peng's body trembled uncontrollably, not from fear, but from rage.

He touched his right cheek, which had been slapped red, and drew his long sword, glaring fiercely at Lu Changsheng. His murderous aura was so palpable that it was terrifying.

Swish swish!

More than ten disciples of the Northern Palace behind Luo Peng drew their flying swords and formed a circle, completely surrounding Lu Changsheng.

"Dare to lay a hand on Senior Brother Luo? You're courting death!"

"Hmph, you've insulted my Shangyun Heavenly Palace! Old man, you're not leaving here today!"

"Senior Brother Luo, just give the order, and I will take down this old thief..."

Swish!

Lu Changsheng, his body hunched over, swept his cold gaze across the disciple, who had spoken rudely, instantly turning pale and speechless.

After refining the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, Lu Changsheng possessed a terrifying aura that looked down upon the world.

A person with a weak mind can terrify another with just a glance.

"Disrespectful to elders! Insolent in speech!"

"Accepting money from passersby!"

"Ignoring the rules and regulations!"

Just before Luo Peng was about to explode, Lu Changsheng unleashed a torrent of abuse on him, then pulled out a pre-prepared letter from his robes and slapped it hard on Luo Peng's head:

"Open your dog eyes and look! I'm no ordinary person! I have connections!"

wow——

Luo Peng had already raised his flying sword, intending to stab Lu Changsheng in the heart, but this sudden scene forced him to withdraw his sword.

"Background? Ha! What kind of background could an old man like you have?"

"Our Senior Brother Luo Peng is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he probably doesn't even know what Foundation Establishment is, haha!"

"You dare to talk about your background in my Cloud Heaven Palace? Do you think you know a Foundation Establishment cultivator? Or a Golden Core cultivator??"

......

Just as the disciples around him were mocking him, Luo Peng suppressed his anger and picked up the letter that Lu Changsheng had slapped on his head to read.

"I hereby recommend someone to your Northern Palace to participate in the outer disciple assessment!"

Seeing this, Luo Peng's anger surged even higher. Even if a Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivator wanted to recommend someone close to him to the Northern Palace, they should at least be more polite in their words.

Among the five major branches of Shangyun Heavenly Palace, disciples often recommend their relatives and friends to participate in trials in other branches. Some even deliberately arrange for their relatives and friends to participate in trials in other branches in order to avoid suspicion. This has become quite common.

But so what?

Luo Peng had already made up his mind: no matter who wrote this letter, he, Luo Peng, would absolutely not allow it today! He would even avenge that slap! He would break the bones of this old man in front of him, making him wish he were dead...

wow——

But the next moment, when Luo Peng saw the two characters "Xuan Yue" on the seal at the bottom, his mind went blank.

Xuanyue!

That's Ji Jiufeng's personal disciple, the Palace Master of the Central Palace!

Looking across the entire Shangyun Heavenly Palace, among all the disciples, he was the most mysterious and the most terrifying existence!

He secluded himself for forty or fifty years, spending his days studying Taoist practices in the central palace, never showing his face in public.

At first, some people doubted Xuan Yue's strength, but two days ago, Xuan Yue made her first and only move, defeating Ge Qing, who was also a direct disciple, and even severing his tendons, making her famous throughout the Shangyun Heavenly Palace.

Who is Ge Qing?

That's a terrifying existence at the Nascent Soul stage!

From this, we can infer that Senior Brother Xuan Yue's strength is definitely at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, or even a Nascent Soul expert!

What's even more frightening is that, while others may not know, Luo Peng, being well-informed, naturally heard about it.

Afterwards, even when Qin Fenghua, the Palace Master of the Eastern Palace, came to demand an explanation, the Elders of the Central Palace did not hesitate to activate the palace-protecting formation to protect her. In the end, even the Vice Palace Master was alarmed and the matter was suppressed.

Just how terrifying is Xuan Yue, someone even the Vice Palace Master protects?

Luo Peng dared not think any further!

But here's the question: what's the relationship between this hunched-over old man and Senior Brother Xuan Yue?

If they were on good terms, with Senior Brother Xuan Yue's strength, he could easily have given this old guy some pointers, and he wouldn't just be at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

But if they didn't have a good relationship, why would he write a letter of recommendation for this old man?

You should know that the letter is signed with a seal bearing the words "Xuan Yue," and the seal has a flow of spiritual energy, symbolizing identity. It is absolutely impossible to fake!

Furthermore, Lu Changsheng remained arrogant and domineering throughout, showing no sign of cowardice whatsoever.

This letter was definitely not stolen!

"thump!!"

Amidst the horrified expressions of the crowd, Luo Peng, without any hesitation or delay, knelt down before Lu Changsheng and began kowtowing repeatedly.

"I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

"I was blind and didn't recognize your greatness! I have offended you, senior! I hope you will be magnanimous..."

Luo Peng demonstrated what it means to be... through his actions.

Be able to take it on, and be able to put it down!

If you kneel down fast enough, you can save your dog's life!

face?

Why would a dignified cultivator need face?

What's the point of saving face?

"..."

Lu Changsheng was stunned. This... he knelt down way too quickly, didn't he?

Princess Taiping, Prince Zhenbei, and hundreds of other candidates participating in the outer disciple trial all stared wide-eyed, speechless with shock, their worldviews shattered!

Especially Zhao Ke, the Prince of Zhenbei, went from shock to anger, and then to resentment. His once handsome face was now twisted to the extreme!

The dozen or so immortal disciples surrounding Lu Changsheng stared at Luo Peng with disbelief. Luo Peng was their senior brother, their leader, and a terrifying Foundation Establishment cultivator!

At this moment, without even exchanging blows, he simply knelt down before the other person.

Not to mention that Lu Changsheng was an old man with depleted energy and blood, this...

There's only one explanation!

That must be some kind of witchcraft that old geezer Lu Changsheng used on Senior Brother Luo Peng to disturb his mind!

Thinking of this, one of the immortal disciples immediately steeled his heart, took up his flying sword, and slashed at Lu Changsheng's throat!

As long as Lu Changsheng is killed, the witchcraft will naturally be broken, and when Senior Brother Luo Peng wakes up, he will definitely be grateful to me.

The feeling of being the only one sober while everyone else is drunk is just too good!

The thrust of the sword caused the onlookers to gasp in surprise. Zhao Ke, the Prince of Zhenbei, who had been despondent, suddenly brightened up and came back to life!

Although he had no grudge against Lu Changsheng, for some reason, he harbored a deep-seated hatred for him, perhaps because Princess Taiping had glanced at Lu Changsheng a couple of times in the crowd...

Swish!

The moment the immortal disciple drew his sword, Lu Changsheng's hand lightly touched the storage bag at his waist, and at the same time, the Devouring Heaven Cauldron, which had been dormant in his dantian, began to exhale towering black mist.

When a lion fights a rabbit, he still needs all his strength.

Although this immortal disciple was also only at the Qi Refining stage, Lu Changsheng never underestimated anyone; this is because the longer one lives, the more cautious one becomes.

Just before Lu Changsheng could make his move, Luo Peng, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly sprang up, his Foundation Establishment cultivation erupting instantly, and punched the sword disciple straight in the back.

boom! !

The terrifying force instantly caused the disciple to spit out blood, and his attack vanished immediately.

"Senior Brother Luo, you......."

The disciple suddenly turned around, staring at Luo Peng with disbelief. But before he could finish speaking, he saw Luo Peng's fist growing larger and larger in his eyes.

Bang bang bang! !

Luo Peng, as if possessed, punched the disciple in the chest more than a dozen times, then grabbed his ankle and, like using a whip, slammed the disciple's body to the ground.

"You dare to attack a senior? You're courting death!"

Boom!

Boom!

He slammed the ground six or seven times, creating six or seven large craters. The disciple's ribs were broken, and he was spitting blood. He was clearly only exhaling and not inhaling.

Such a violent and bloody scene directly shocked Princess Taiping and Prince Zhenbei, among others.

After the beating, Luo Peng wiped the blood off his face, then knelt down in front of Lu Changsheng with a thud, kowtowing with a look of fear and honesty.

He tried his best to portray himself as a harmless, defenseless lackey, hoping that Lu Changsheng would not stoop to his level.

A wise man doesn't hold grudges against a petty person; let him live.

"She has a good eye, and she's quick-witted!"

Lu Changsheng stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed, like a cunning old fox, staring intently at the terrified Luo Peng:

"That's enough! Anyone who's ever called me 'old man' should kneel on the ground and slap themselves a hundred times, and that'll be the end of it!"

"I still have to participate in the outer disciple trials, so I won't lower myself to your level!"

After saying that, Lu Changsheng stepped into the Outer Immortal Academy and headed straight for the trial grounds as if nothing had happened.

Amidst the horrified expressions of Princess Taiping (Bai Xue), Prince Zhenbei (Zhao Ke), and other nobles, Luo Peng's gaze swept across the room, and more than ten disciples of the immortal sects present simultaneously knelt on the ground. Then, facing the direction of Lu Changsheng, they stretched out their palms and slapped themselves hard across the face, one slap after another...

Snapped!

clap clap!

clap clap clap!

......

After delivering a full hundred slaps, Luo Peng, his face red and swollen, carrying a letter bearing the "Mysterious Moon" seal, headed straight for the outer sect elders' council...

As soon as Palace Master Ji Jiufeng entered the Lesser Immortal Realm, the legendary and most mysterious Senior Brother Xuan Yue began to show up and plot.

This is no small matter and must be reported!

This must be reported!!
